October 25, 2010
“We’ve been in business for 22 years, we started in 1989. When we first opened, we only had a couple pallets sitting out front and very little flowers. From that time, we’ve went to a full greenhouse and probably over 100 trees and 100 shrubs available for the customers. We offer a long line of service, building retaining walls and block walls. We have fountains for sale, we have Christmas trees at Christmastime. This year, in addition to the Christmas trees, I’m going to be doing an angel room. They’ll be smaller than the big ones I’ve got here. They’re in honor of my wife and my daughter.
